Youve watched me unfold. |
|
And ive watched you, a still and quiet picture. |
|
Painted over a thousand times, you hide your face to save your name. |
|
To hide it all away from the world. |
|
Well ive seen your face, and ive spoken your name. |
|
And once is enough to know that this is all in vain. |
|
Take away every shade, let these colors fade away. |
|
Your life is replaced with a statue of who you used to be. |
|
And now you must tear it down. |
|
These sleepless nights have given me no space or intention. |
|
Knowing that this could exist in me. |
|
Knowing that it is gazing at me from inside of you. This is in us all. |
|
And in this world of contagious infection, |
|
Where flowers get heavier as each pedal falls to the ground. |
|
Orchids grow into the earth, only to escape your grasp. |
|
This will haunt my life. |
|
Orchids grow into the earth to escape your hands. |
|
You block out the sun, to erase us all. |
